I've seen no sign you can install it - it's one of the system's default programs (bottom row of the first screen with a compass icon); I think the only way to re-install it is to restore your ipad using iTunes.

Yep, Safari comes on the ipad and is one of the few apps that cannot be removed.

You may want to press the home button, wait a few seconds and then press the home button agian. This will allow you to search for things on the ipad. Search for Safari and it should come up in the list of found items.

Could this (and the other event from down under) be the result of a Safari version upgrade? Could there have been some kind of data gap between the upgrade of the application and the upgrade of the iPad OS?

I too have lost my safari app. I refuse to restore because it has taken me forever to get my iPad back the way I had it. Long story. Short - broken screen (thanks kids) - so I got a replacement and it was time consuming getting it back to my liking. I just use the google app mow to search the Internet.
